Kentucky Hotel Guides

Kentucky
is a state full of rich history, beautiful scenery and the
world-famous
Kentucky Derby.
It is sometimes classified as one of the southern states but more commonly
considered to be a part of the Midwest. Kentucky
visitors find unending choices for lodging all over the state, like in
Frankfort
- its capital city  and in other towns such as
Benton,
Newport
and
Grand Rivers.
Outstanding recreational facilities and fine dining choices are part of Kentucky's charm along with
good Bourbon. America's native spirit, is almost exclusively distilled, aged
and bottled in Kentucky and visitors love to take part of the Bourbon Trail, which
includes
Louisville,
Frankfort,
Bardstown
and
Lexington.
Amenities at hotels and resorts along the trail frequently organize tasting
events and tours to distilleries.

Several Native American groups - Cherokee,
Creek and Shawnee - lived in the
w:st="on">Kentucky region when
European explorers first arrived. Today, tourist can learn about these tribes,
their culture and love for nature at parks such as the Cherokee Trail of Tears
Park. Kentucky has plenty of outdoor
adventures including Mammoth
Cave which is designed to
entertain travelers year-round. Accommodations at these parks range from log
cabins to campsites and hotels, so everyone can pick and choose according to
their personal tastes. Many visitors choose to follow one of the driving trails
or scenic byways of the state like the Daniel Boom County Trail, which meanders
through cities like Cumberland, Pinesville and
London.

The state's numerous waterways and
diverse landscapes are a paradise for hikers, bikers, boating enthusiasts and
fishermen. Travelers have the choice of staying inland or near the water at
rustic inns, bed and breakfasts, hotels and resorts lodging is definitely not
a problem in Kentucky.
Summer is a great time for families to visit
this state - over 90,000 miles of streams provide one of the most expansive and
complex stream systems in the nation. Along these rivers and lakes, accommodations
range from five-star resorts to less expensive hotels and motels. Horses are also
a big part of the Kentucky
lifestyle. So much so, that the city of
Lexington
is known as the Horse Capital of the World. Every year thousands of visitors
fill hotels to full capacity when they visit this city and historic Churchill
Dows in
Louisville
to feel the thrill of
Kentucky Derby,
which is often referred to as the most exciting two minutes in sports.'
